Geschichte (Englisch) |
The Peking-Hankow Railway was inaugurated in December 1905. It consisted of a main line with a length of 755 and 62 miles of secondary lines. Connections to several other railways were in place. 24,000 pieces of the present paper, which was distributed by the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corp. in London, had been issued, but only 1,200 remained in circulation. |
